so...i assume that you have alltel and live in the midwest, or you know someone with alltel from the midwest that you can't reach. I don't quite follow, I've never had problems, except on my parents farm, but that is the boonies, and no one would get service there. I guess you should clarify...

edit: how do you raise someone on the phone?

It's been working for me today. I just sent and received a few texts about two hours ago and there was no problem. Talked on the phone with no problem but that was about 5 pm (9:48 now).

Yea, I have alltel and so do the people i'm trying to reach. They are having the same issues - call people and get somebody totally different. Text messages work sometimes.

should switch to verizon ;)

Never have any trouble with them. Except when my phone got cooked by lightning but that isn't verizon's fault (no I didn't have it plugged in during the storm).

I've never had a problem with Alltel until now. 2 years of good service. THis is getting ridiculous though.
